Effects of pulpitis in pregnant women on the fetus

Dental hygiene and health must be taken seriously by everyone, because dental problems will affect chewing ability. Pulpitis is a relatively serious dental disease. Because pulpitis is caused by a virus infecting the teeth, patients with pulpitis often feel severe pain in their teeth. If a pregnant woman suffers from pulpitis, what impact will it have on the fetus in her belly?

A common symptom of pulpitis is sudden severe pain without stimulation. The pain will last for a period of time. When a woman has pulpitis, it is difficult to sleep and eat normally.

The impact of pulpitis on the fetus is related to two major factors:

1. The degree of pain caused by pulpitis: The degree of pain caused by pulpitis varies depending on the cause. If women experience pain after consuming cold air or irritating food, it can be avoided; but if the pain persists without any warning, it will often make women suffer from unbearable pain, affect their lives, and have a certain impact on the fetus.

2. Length of pregnancy: In the early stages of pregnancy, because the gestational sac is still in the development stage, it is very fragile. Therefore, once a female friend suffers from pulpitis, it will affect the stability of the fetus and easily cause miscarriage. When the fetus gradually stabilizes during the fourth to sixth month of pregnancy, pulpitis can be treated to a certain extent and the impact on the fetus is reduced.

Therefore, the onset of pulpitis still has a certain impact on pregnant women, especially expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy. Try not to receive treatment during the first three months or last three months of pregnancy. It is better to wait until after delivery to undergo endodontic treatment.

Precautions for pulpitis treatment during pregnancy:

If pulpitis occurs too severely during pregnancy and is not conducive to the health of the fetus, you can undergo appropriate pulp treatment and choose a regular professional hospital to perform pulpotomy and drainage to relieve the pain to a certain extent.

During pregnancy, female friends with pulpitis should take preventive measures, pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene, and remember to rinse their mouths after meals. Eat more fresh fruits and green vegetables rich in vitamins to reduce the permeability of blood vessels.

Suffering from pulpitis in the early stages of pregnancy will still affect the health of the fetus to a certain extent. Expectant mothers in the first two or three months of pregnancy should pay special attention to prevention. It is recommended that when pulpitis is severe, appropriate and simple treatment can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, pay attention to cleaning the mouth in the morning and evening to keep the gums clean. Eat more nutritious food and avoid spicy food.
